Re: Experiences with PS and Insomnia Please

[Guest guest]

I have a terrible case of seasonal affective disorder right now. Very very

depressed and anxious and hoping that thyroid optimization will help this as

well and get me thru the rest of this winter.

Me too. Your history sounds eerily similar to mine. Except no pituitary

tumor, and I don't regularly take any sleep med as none work.

Do you get 4 hours in one straight sleep? If so, sounds good to me,

though it certainly isn't enough sleep.

Let me give you hope, ,

I had SAD for many years. This year I don't have it and it is a direct result of

Armour, iodine, and supporting nutrients. So, hang in there, your time will

come. Anytime antidepressants are weaned, it must be done very slowly.

I am thinking this might be trick of big pharma..All agents have side effects

(especially the big pharma's) especially if an agent is used incorrectly and or

long term.

Sometimes kava seemed to help me and sometimes it did nothing. I've

rarely used it because of liver worries, that are often mentioned re

Kava. But I just looked it up again in " The Green Pharmacy Herbal

Do you get some sunlight early in themorning?even if there is no sun being

outside will be helpful.
